Patent GB-191222406-A (GB)
Title: A Method and Apparatus for Purifying Liquids by Centrifugal Action.
Inventor: DAHLHAUS AUGUST
IPC: B04B11/02
Filed: 1912-10-02
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 22,406. Dahlhaus, A. Oct. 2. Machines for separating liquids from solids by density; drums. - Solids or impurities of greater specific gravity than the liquids containing them are centrifugally separated from the liquids in a rotary drum provided with chambers on its outer periphery which receive the solids and dry them, and from which the solids are continuously removed by suction or pressure. Sewage and waste waters from mining, smelting, and crushing works may be thus dealt with, and the apparatus may also be used for precipitating acids from waters after the introduction of precipitating substances, and in the paper and chemical industries for drying substances. The liquid passes through a pipe 1, Fig. 1, into a drum 2 on to spraying-disks 4. The sludge rises against a sloping wall 5, over which it passes, and descends into a chamber 7, from which it is expelled along passages 11 by suction, while the water passes out of the top of the drum into an annular channel 8, and is carried by pipes 9 into an annular container 10, from which it is discharged. In a modified form, hinged valves, which may be operated by hand or power, are provided to close the opening between the interior of the drum and the chamber 7, while the sludge is being withdrawn from the chamber by suction through pipes leading through the hollow shaft. In another form, communication between the interior of the drum and the chamber 7, Fig. 3, for the reception of the sludge is by means of a slot 18, which is open during the centrifugal separation, and is shut during removal of the sludge by a valve 21 operated by a piston 17 in a cylinder, to which compressed air is supplied through a pipe 16. As the valve 21 closes, slots 19 in the cylinder are opened and the compressed air passes to a nozzle 15, causing suction in a pipe 13, down which the sludge is thereby carried. In another form, a pressure medium introduced through a pipe 16, Fig. 4, forces the sludge from the chamber 7 through pipes 13 a single valve 21 being employed to close alternately the opening of the pipe 16 into the chamber 7 and the opening between the chamber 7 and the interior of the drum.

Title: Device for Cleaning the Cylinders & Facilitating the Starting of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HENDRICKS AUGUSTINE
IPC: F02N99/00
Filed: 1913-04-15
Granted: 1914-04-15
Abstract: 8826. Hendricks, A. April 15. Spray carburettors.-Apparatus for facilitating starting comprises a removable vessel 5 holding volatile liquid fuel into which air can be forced from a compressed air tank leading to the pipe 12. The air passes down the pipe 16 and bubbles through the liquid, becoming carburetted, and passes through the pipe 14 to a distributing-device at the engine. Starting may be otherwise facilitated by allowing liquid fuel to be drawn into the cylinder through the pipe 18 leading to the intake manifold past the valve 13 controlled from the dash-board. Air pressure may be applied to the surface of the liquid when required by the hand-pump 10.

Title: Improvements relating to the Production of a Vacuum by Means of Low Temperatures.
Inventor: LILIENFELD JULIUS EDGAR
IPC: H01J9/385

Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 12,272. Lilienfeld, J. E. Aug. 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Residual gases.-In producing a vacuum in metallic-filament lamps by means of low temperatures, for example by immersing them in liquefied hydrogen or connecting them to a similarly cooled vessel, any hydrogen in the bulb is removed in the form of a condensable compound by introducing a suitable gas and effecting the combination of the gases by heating the filaments. Oxygen and carbon-dioxide are given as examples of a suitable gas, the carbon-dioxide snow formed in the latter case facilitating the production of the vacuum by an absorptive action.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Colour Kinematography.
Inventor: MIDDLETON THOMAS PERCY
IPC: G03B33/00
Filed: 1913-07-16
Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 16,354. Middleton, T. P. July 16. [Cognate Application, 17,008/13.] Kinematograph apparatus.-In the production of a positive colour film of the kind in which each picture is a complete heliochrome which consists of superimposed prints in colour obtained from a negative band exposed through a series of simultaneously effective and appropriately colour-screened lenses 4 arranged along the course of the band, these lenses are so adjusted from the shaft 16 through the screw 20 as to form the image of a given point in the scene in corresponding position relatively to the film perforations in all the picture areas. To eliminate marginal fringing without interfering with the normal area of the prints, there is a slight enlargement or adjustment of the field by the lens-copying machine used for reproducing from the negatives. When printing from the negative band or from derived master negative bands, the printing may be done through a colour impression, in which case a screen of similar colour is used to screen the printing-light. The lenses used in taking the negative band may be contiguous or in open formation so that the-picture areas of a group are not contiguous, and one or more extra sprocket-holes may be allowed to each picture area. In order to ensure a constant multiplepicture shift, a given tooth of the intermittently driven gear 47 is arranged always to have the same relation to the last picture area of a group by making one complete revolution of the gear 47 feed the exact multiple shift required, the gear 47 being rotated once completely for each revolution of the driving-gear 44 by engagement of the pins 46 and the radial teeth on the gear 47, and being locked by the flange 45 during the inoperative part of the revolution of the gear 44. Specification 16,353/13 is referred to.

Abstract: 11,140. Franklin, J. N. May 6. Fastenings operated mechanically from a distance; sliding bolts.-In apparatus for simultaneously fastening railway-carriage doors, the fastenings each consist of a holt D<6>, which is integral with a spring- pressed member D slidable between fixed guides A, E. The part D is moved upward to force the bolt into a socket :n the door, by means of a wedge - shaped piece B, which is moved horizontally between guides A, C by a grooved member G'. The simultaneous operation ef the fastenings is effected by means of a series of alined rods H, situate beneath the centre uf the carriages and running the length of the train, the rods being connected between the carriages by spring-controlled telescopic couplings I joined together by loose pivot pins L, Fig. 11. Cross-rods-G, Fig. 8, are loosely mounted on the main rods H, the rods G having the bolt-actuating parts G' fixed thereto at each end. When the connected rods H are moved in one direction by means of a lever on the engine or guard's van, projections H<1> thereon cause the cross-rods to move so that the parts G<1> operate the bolts through the medium of the wedges B. The construction and arrangement is such that automatic unlocking of the doors would occur in case of a collision or derailment of the train.

This traverse may be assisted by a weighted cord. The lever e may be mounted, alternatively, on a rod below the reed, in which case the plate f acts as the drawing-in plate and has a hooked eye t for this purpose.

Title: Improvements in Puffed Cereal Flakes and Method of Preparing same.
IPC: A23L1/18
Filed: 1915-09-13
Abstract: 13,094. Postum Cereal Co., [Assignees of Martin, F. B.]. April 29, [Convention date]. Roasting granular substances; flake products, obtaining.-Consists in converting maize, rice, or other cereal grain, either whole or cracked, into flakes, which are then heated to form an external film and afterwards subjected to a higher temperature to vaporize the contained moisture by which the flakes are puffed. The cereal grits &c. are cooked in water under steam-pressure, with salt and sugar or the like if desired. They are then partly dried on the surface by passing through the meshes of a revolving reel, which separates the individual granules, to a drying-apparatus. After resting in a curing-bin until the internal moisture is evenly distributed and the granules become tough, they are flaked between water cooled smooth rolls, set to form flakes of considerable thickness. The flakes are heated in a roaster to form a tough film on the surface, and the temperature is then raised to vaporize the moisture and puff the flakes, and the roasting is completed at a somewhat lower temperature. The roasting-apparatus may be a perforated rotary drum having internal agitating-vanes and heated byopen flame so arranged as to produce three successive zones of the requisite temperatures.
